The main difference is that the software on this phone is a lot faster than the previous motorolas. The external display screen is the same size as the internal screen. You are supposed to be able to read test messages from the outside screen, however if you get this phone from Telstra, the Telstra software will prevent you from being able to do this. Therefore the large screen on the front is only useful for changing the profile, playing MP3's (with the touch sensitive buttons), and viewing the huge clock.

The phone only has one camera on the outside, there is no internal VGA camera, but you can make video calls from the front screen.

The menu is identical to that of the V6 Maxx and V3xx.

One good thing about this phone is that the external display is scratch resistant and the phone itself can take up to 94kg of force whilst open - so it's tough.

Overall, this is a nice looking phone, but there is really nothing groundbreaking or different about it except for the touch sensitive buttons on the front display.

wow, this is just a maxx v6 with a new look and they took away the internal cameral and made it slightly thinner. probably does have a few new features but still almost exactly the same as the RAZR maxx v6 so if u want his phone but dont got enough cash buy the v6

One of the great things about the RAZR 2 is that you can read text messages from the external display. Despite this Telstra made the V9 next G capable and in doing this they simply uploaded the exact same software the Maxx V6 has and put it on the V9. With the Telstra version of the V9 you cannot read text messages from the external scren. Therefore the V9 is simply and nicer looking V6 lol.

hey guys, im planning to buy this phone. but its not in the market yet here in philippines. i know this is 3g, but do this have a camera at the front for video calling? this is the only thing i want to know. thanks a lot dudes.
